As roads improved, \nmany of these companies became large operations with ample semi-trucks, \ntrailers and places to haul. This book is a concise history of the \npioneers in trucking and how they grew their truck empires. From the \neast coast to the west coast, most of the companies started out very \nsmall regionally and with acquisitions and mergers became the big names \nin trucking hauling all over America. Each company includes a history, \nmaps of their truck lines and a photo or more of their fleet or rigs \nthey used at an epochal point in their history.
